David Southall's experiments on babies

I am a Member of Parliament and concerns have been raised with me about experiments on babies performed by or on behalf of Dr David Southall.
A protocol was proposed to the Royal Brompton Hospital in 1985 called 85.02 which involved various interventions to babies respiratory systems.
These involved blocking the breathing through a face mask, testing the impact of CO2 (Carbon Dixoxide) and testing the impact of air with only 15% Oxygen (normal is about 21%).
I would be interested in anyone contacting me who thinks their child may have had these tests performed on them without their consent. I would also be interested in anyone threatened with child protection proceedings if they refused to allow him access to their child.
If I am appointed as a lay advisor or Mackenzie friend then I can be provided with information in respect of any child protection proceedings merely place the words "I appoint John Hemming as my lay advisor and Mackenzie friend" in any letter or email.
People can contact me at [email protected] or John Hemming MP, Freepost, House of Commons, London SW1 0AA.

'They say paediatricians involved in child protection are being subjected to a campaign by groups defending parents accused of abuse. '

Imagine that? Parents standing up and campaigning for their own rights!

Groups? Uhmm me and a couple of others-hardly a "group" now then-fighting for your right to get justice for your children and the truth to be heard-well I never-whatever next in post modern Russia sorry Britain-got a bit confused.

So now he feels he is at the wrong end of a 'witchhunt' now, and he doesn't like it, but he doesn't seem to have an iota of how it must have felt for the families whose lives were decimated by his 'work' or the children he harmed by it.

People like him make me believe there's a place called Hell.
